Premium vehicles (USSR/Germany only) are on sale this weekend and Tier 7 is 30% off. That puts the E-25 at a cost of 4,690 gold. I just received some tournament gold and I'm sitting at around 7,000 gold. Is this a good tank to pick up on sale?

I need it mostly for credit grinding as my premium time is finally up in 2 weeks after 1+ year, and I want to play the game on Standard indefinitely.

YES it's worth it. E-25 is even better because premium TDs didn't get the camo nerf. A LOT of tanks will need to be less than 100m from you if you have BIA/camo crew skill/vehicle camo/camo net...you get the point. It's also really fun, fast speed, and fast firing. You'll never have a boring game!!!

Definitely, if you enjoy mobility, camo, and if you can make an accurate gun with mediocre AP pen work.

This is a bit problematic. There will be quite a few situations where the AP round won't cut it. To be honest, if you're looking for a tier 6-7 credit maker, and can live with having the mobility of a T95, I would recommend the TOG II*.

I suppose I can live with shooting gold out of the E25 occasionally. I do have a Type 59 and T34 (heavy) that I could rely on for serious grinding. The pros of the E25 more than make up for it needing to shoot gold once in a while.

E-25 is definitely worth it. However with the USSR tanks being on sale too I should mention that the SU-122-44 is also well worth the cost. I find it just as fun as the E-25, but in a different way. It's got good camo, gun and frontal armor. The E-25 plays like an invisi TD, while the SU-122-44 plays like an assault/ambush TD. Anyway something to think about.

Agreed. I think the SU-122-44 is a little less reliant on the maps it gets than the E-25. It has a lot less trouble remaining useful on the newer close combat focussed maps than the E-25. And even in tier 9 battles the SU's 175mm pen AP round feels more useful than the 150mm AP on the E-25 feels against certain tier 8s like the KV-4 or AT 15.

Still, they're both excellent tanks. However, the SU-122-44 is better when it comes to making credits, I'd say.

Yeah well, the Western world's view of beauty at this point is basically a woman with a pre-puberty boyish figure.

As to the OP, the E-25 is a great tank. I also use my Rhoomba crew in my E-25, especially since I don't play the Rhoomba and had the crew ready to go. I don't shoot much APCR out of mine and make a fair amount of credits. I would say that it is a fairly good credit grinder, so long as you don't worry about hitting a set DPG.
